“In a way, I was safe writing”

“It is a safe rule to apply that, when a mathematical or philosophical author writes with a misty profundity, he is talking nonsense.”

“Writing is one of the ways I participate in transformation.”

“I hate the way he writes. I kind of love the way he lives, though.”

“The scientific world is to be less threatening than was feared. It is to be made safe for human beings. And the way to make it safe is to reflect on the foundation of knowledge.”

“There's no way I can stop writing, it's a form of insanity.”

“I began to write in the first place because I expected everything to change, and I wanted to have things in writing the way they had been.”

“I decided that adventure was the best way to learn about writing.”

“I write and that way rid myself of me and then at last I can rest.”

“… the only way to keep your secrets safe is to have none at all…”
